My favorite bar here in town has a letter from Taco John’s framed on the wall explaining why they had to change the name of their weekly taco special.
In Scandinavia it’s Taco Friday. Who has the rights to that? Who needs to get sued? Who should we be mad at?
As far as I know, nobody. They understand the social good. And they celebrate it with tacos promptly when the workday ends at 4 PM.

Because of their prices I’d basically given up on Taco Bell except for the value menu. But now every item that was $1 jumped to $1.5 (and everything else went up with it) so I’m cutting out Taco Bell completely. A few months back one of their limited time offers was $5 but when ordered à la carte was $12.47 – that kinda revealed just how (unreasonably) skewed their profit margins must be.
It used to be $5-10 to feel gross and full, now it’s $15-20 and takes 15 minutes both inside or drive through. I haven’t been back in a couple years because of price and incompetence, there’s better options for cheaper and quicker. Sheetz the gas station has been nailing Amerimexican for years if you’re north east.
My local gas station attached Mexican joint has been cranking out local amazing cuisine for years, I would literally never even consider Taco Bell
I only go when I want to have the specific flavor profile they create. If I want actual Mexican food, they’re my absolute last option
Yeah but that Breakfast Steak Crunchwrap with extra creamy jalapeño sauce…
Greatest fast food breakfast item. And I’ve eaten an embarrassing amount of fast food breakfast.
The McDonald’s app always has pretty good deals. 2 spicy chicken for $3 right now.
The over-reliance on apps and the privacy/security implications that entails is a separate issue for me. I also don’t have the Google Play Store (or the associated underlying services) that all the apps require to function on my phone (CalyxOS). Comcast was decertifying my ancient modem so I finally bought a new one. When I needed to swap the hardware id info over and called their support line all of their workflows now apparently rely on using their app. When I told them it was between them supplying me with a vanilla smartphone or me cancelling my service because I didn’t own any devices that supported their app they were then magically able to just update some fields in their database and my modem was set-up with no mobile phones or apps involved. I’ve had a passion for technology my entire life but its current predatory and user hostile default state just makes me hate it.
No worries mate, that’s pretty hardcore. Guess we gotta make lunch at home or pay up 😂
Alert the Munch Squad.
Justin did a segment on this not long ago that had me in stitches

Fuck Taco Bell. Taco Bell only won because Taco John’s didn’t have deep enough pockets to defend the trademarked term they legally had.
They should have never been granted the trademark based on prioriry. They did not coin or use the term first. They are not fighting because they know they wouldn’t survive a challenge which is why they just bullied small shops who themselves didn’t have the pockets to defend themselves.
Do you really want Taco John’s to hold the usage rights to ‘taco Tuesday’?
I don’t feel like this is something we should celebrate. Idk
